Tried the wonton noodles at a new ramen place nearby. Apparently it's their signature dish. Compared to the Chinese original, Japanese wantanmen are really plainly seasoned and there's not really any filling in the wontons to speak of. The wonton skins in the broth have a great silky texture, and I like this shop's chewy noodles, but wantanmen always leaves me yearning for real Hong Kong style wonton noodles, with charsiu pork and flavorful broth.

Chopped
Part Ten of If You Can't Take the Heat
You Got a Minute? | Masterlist | To Market
Pairing: Carmen ‘Carmy’ Berzatto x Reader
Rating: M (though it may have explicit chapters in the future)
Notes: Welcome back! I hope y’all are having a nice week!❣️ Also no worries, there’s another chapter incoming, it just doesn’t have a name yet.
Also also we will return to the land of plot next chapter. This one is just for funsies.
Warnings: Fluff! Chopped! Not beta-read.
Summary: It seems more like something Carmy might make at the shop—a panini spilling over with bright vegetables, chicken, and oozing cheese. There’s a serving of fries there as well, and you know that they’re handcut and baked.
Tumblr media
“First baskets are ready to go…Please open your first basket.”
“Babe, it’s starting,” You call out, eyes set on the television as the contestants open their baskets. “Do you want me to come help you?”
“Nah, you’re good. Turn it up!” Carmy calls back. You reach out, grabbing the remote and turning the volume up so that Carmy can hear it from your kitchen. Ted Allen’s voice rings out across your living room: 
“Green tomatoes…” 
“I’m looking at these tomatoes, and I’m just thinking uh, I hate these,” Groans one of the contestants. 
“Venison,” Ted Allen goes on. 
“Ooo,” You frown, brow furrowing. “What even is venison?” 
“Deer meat,” Carmy says, setting two plates down on the coffee table in front of you. You glance down, and do a double-take at the sight of the food there as the scent of it catches your nose. 
“Damn, babe. That looks good,” You reach out, taking your plate up. It seems more like something Carmy might make at the shop—a pannini spilling over with bright vegetables, chicken, and oozing cheese. There’s a serving of fries there as well, and you know that they’re handcut and baked. You reach out, taking your plate and leaning back in your seat, popping a fry into your mouth with a groan. When you look up again, you find that the chefs are already off and running. 
“Wait, what else did they get?” You ask. 
“Water chestnuts and wonton wrappers.” 
“No.” 
“Mhm.” 
“Those wonton wrappers are so dangerous…What would you do?” You ask, glancing at Carmy. 
“Bacon wrapped venison bite. Use the wonton as a little bowl, pan sear the venison ,” He answers without a second thought. “Throw the water chestnuts and the green tomatoes into a puree, add some shallots, garlic, some heavy cream. Give a brighter taste to the bite—cut through the salt, counter the crunch.” 
You blink at Carmy, stunned, watching as he plucks up a couple of fries and pops them into his mouth. 
“...How long did it take you to come up with that?” You ask. Carmy just shrugs nonchalantly, reaching out and taking his beer. You smile, shaking your head and resting your chin on his shoulder. 
“Fricking genius chef.” 
“Yeah, yeah.” 
“Gordon Ramsey’s got nothin’ on you.” 
“Eat your food,” Carmy presses. “It’s getting cold.” 
You can see, though, that his cheeks are pinking with flattery. You’re perfectly content to lean back and watch Chopped, but Carmy mutters to himself every now and again—between bites, after sips—completely unprompted. 
“Plating always makes me the most nervous,” You mutter as you watch the four chefs hurriedly put their food up. “Like, what if you drop something?” 
“What do you do if you drop something when you’re bartending?” Carmy asks, glancing back toward you as the four chefs line up to 
“Laugh it off in person but, like, scream on the inside.” 
“But you keep going, right?” 
“Yeah, ‘cause I have to.” 
“So do they.” 
You scoff, leaning back in your seat. “Alright—Michelin Miyagi.” 
-- 
“Oh my god, are you kidding me!” You crow as one of the contestants leaves. “That’s insane!” 
“No it is not—” 
“The other guy left off a basket ingredient!” 
“Yeah, but raw pork could kill someone.” 
You consider Carmy's argument before you slouch back, grumbling.
“For your main course, we have…”
You half-shove the remainder of your panini into your mouth as Ted Allen begins to introduce the new ingredients. 
“Swordfish…Fennel seeds…” 
You glance toward Carmy as he gives a short nod, and lets out an appreciative hum. 
“Maraschino cherries…And potato chips.” 
“Breading for the swordfish?” You pipe up. 
“Good,” Carmy nods, pointing at you without looking away from the television. “If you grilled it, that would be good. Drain and rinse the cherries, turn that into a salsa.” 
“What about the fennel seeds?”
“Add it to the swordfish. Some paprika, garlic, lemon.” 
“...Hell, I’d eat that.” 
--  
“Wow—” 
“Saw that coming,” You mutter. “You can’t just shove something into a blender with cream and call it a hummus.” 
“Amateur hour,” Carmy agrees. You watch, smiling as Carmy scooches down om the couch, resting his head on your lap. You reach down, tenderly combing your fingers through his hair as Ted Allen proclaims:
“And your dessert must feature…Granny Smith apples…Sweet vermouth…” 
“Curveball,” You mutter.
“Gingerbread…And apricot paste.” 
“Ice cream?” You ask. 
“Mm…With what?” Carmy asks, tipping his head up to look at you.
“The apricot paste and vermouth? Turn the gingerbread crumbs into a crumble…”
“And the apples?” 
“....Okay, I take it back, make a little, like…apple pie?” 
Carmy considers for a moment. 
“I’d make an apricot ice cream, use the vermouth to cook season the apples with, and use the gingerbread as a crumble.” 
“...Yeah, you know what,” You nod. “That’s the move.” 
“Uh-huh…Good jumping-off point, though.” 
“You're too kind, Berzatto.” 
Carmy huffs softly, amused. 
“...You’re pretty good at this,” He comments. 
“You’re a freaking rockstar at this, but like…Knew you would be…I'll do the dishes after this.”
"I got 'em."
"You cooked, it's only fair."  
“...We'll do 'em after the next episode.”

Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is gonna be a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long post. Open it in another tab or something. This is gonna be like this bird post so be warned
Get yourself some snacks and a drink.
where to begin to start explaining my gear and your gown.
first of all a few trigger warnings: homophobia, violence, under age drinking, parental figure dying, attempted rape*, singing
Tumblr media
when you see this shot in episode 10 at 34:55 skip to 36:07 if you can
Let us check out the plot summary now.
IMBD what you got for us
Tumblr media
Not much as expected this is like the base plot like the 1% of it all. (kali why are you even looking there. IDK i wanted some VARIATIONS idk)
Let us check MyDramaList they like to give some more meat
Tumblr media
...and this is as far as i go down the fires of MDL. Now we have a LITTLE bit more base knowledge.
This is an enemies to study buddies to "friends" to enemies to strangers to friends to lovers story. (very long trope but you will get it)
..with a cast that makes newer and older bl fans go like WAIT THEY ARE IN THIS?
Tumblr media
Before we get more into the plot of this story, let me introduce the boys and the gurls and who is who and who is doing what with who. Confused? you are welcome 😎
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lets start with the MAIN people that this story is about
oh btw the colors mean nothing is just wanted to have some colors in this so it's not just a wall of text
Tumblr media
This is pai our little, nearsighted, insecure, introverted and bad with his words boy. That falls head over broken glasses for itt that saves him not once but twice. But he can't really see itts face everytime because his glasses fall off.
He will get rid of his glasses (because of lasik he rich booooy and glasses make people ugly apparently) when he gets older. Will also do everything in his power to make sure that itt gets to live his dreams. With questional techniques to make sure it happens.
highschool!pai: i'm only gonna tutor you so you can get into uni. Pls pang (itts ex girlfriend) get back together with itt so he is more motivated to go back to school, i'm only gonna forgive you if you let me tutor you again.
uni!pai: i lost your trust so ofc you hate me and don't want me in your life i know this. i'm okay to watch you shine from afar
Tumblr media
This is itt (badumtiss sorry everytime i have to read this phrase i have to laugh) our angry, can recognize pais handwriting everywhere, ball is life, grumpy and loves to stare at pai boy. Will wear a bowtie when he hits rock bottom.
And will do anything to make sure his boy gets more out of his shell, even tho his techniques are also questionable at best. Its not that bad in highschool but boy does he dial it up to 100 when they are in uni.
highschool!itt: ..pierce your ear you coward [affectionate]
uni!itt: ..you want your earing back? Join the beauty pageant, pai wants to entertain people, pai wants to answer this question, asks pai stupid med question (because he sees that pai feels uneasy talking infront of people) which pai has to correct and make him ease up, etc
IttPai
Tumblr media
These two are the main couple in this "masterpiece". Staring at eachother (from afar to near to angry to lovie dovie) and miscommunication are their favorite activities. They both will continue doing these even in uni which will give you the urge to pull your hair out. wich will lead to much unnecessary drama. Because both just want the other one to have their best lifes, because BOTH of these two idiots think they are not good enough for eachother. Can you belieeeeeeEEEeeeeve that? They once go out for some wonton noodle soup because pais parents can't make dinner (it's a date but pshh dont tell them). And thats where pai gets his ugly ass earring. That will be the plot device to move things along.
Tumblr media
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now lets get to know the rest of them.
Tumblr media
This is folk, the very tall, handsome, with a little obsession with pai at the start, going to be a dentist and writer boy. Is not so happy that pure always sabotages him and pai. Can quote barbra streisand from the top of his head.
Enters the story right before the timeskip, he gets scolded by pai for reading the number for a classroom wrong and that is what made folk fall hard. Folk meets pai in uni again and uses their "first" first meeting as a pick up line, didn't really land. He will try to forget about pai after that camping trip in uni with a little help of pure *wink*
There is a subplot in the series where there is an Mr.950. You will think Folk is Mr.950 (because that was the number he read wrong) that is giving pai little gifts. But he is not that dude it's itt its always itt kidz.
Tumblr media
This is pure very small, loves to fool around, will not use the hecking condoms (gets an "well deserved" std-scare that makes him and waan bond and become real good friends and you try not to ship like the doc that reads out the test waan made pure take, always have protection with you kidz) his sucky mom throws at him because she is as bad as her son when it comes to fool around, will do anything that makes his BFF itt happy, ball is also life, his first love was a coward and let him get beaten up by bullies, and will fall head over heels for a certain dentist boy.
He pushes folk to confess to pai (do it bro or it will be to late), and folk getting brutally rejected by pai. And after that pure and folk drive back to drink the pain away and for pure to "comfort" the poor soul.
Tumblr media
folks fish: they were banging. There was so much banging happening
PureFolk
Tumblr media
Thank you folk for explaining purefolk, love me this trope when the two people that gonna be together in the end. Tell them stuff like that and ask the other for an answer.. AND IT HAPPENS LIKE THE OTHER ONE SAYS. THEIR SHIP DYNAMIC IS JUST TOLL/SMOLL, enemies to friends with benefits to with a lot of unnecessary drama lovers. ..pure even saves folks face id so folk can unlock pures phone. It was love at first oishi ad scene
Tumblr media
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
last but DEFENETLY NOT least
Tumblr media
This is waan (and his girl beau) second most intelligent, token straight, with no game till he meets beau (at one point you will and want to slap waan for beau because lord he stupid*.), best friends with pai by fate (fate as we are both have the most brain lets be friends) a very kind boy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
*this part of the camp. SHE WAS SO HAPPY AND HE CRUSHES HER HOPES BECAUSE HE THINKS THAT AFTER PURESAID IF HE COULD HELP HER WITH HER, THAT PURE IS GONNA STEAL HER AWAY FROM HIM. *tries to calm down*
...they figure it out after he gets hurt by getting hit by an basketball that Itt was throwing (you have to watch it pls). BUT BOY, what a mess it was thanks pure (but ofc pure only did that to give waan a push to finally stand HIS ground) what i want to say about these two is they are the cutest and i will forever love them
Tumblr media
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
phew now that we got that out of the way lets go through the plot a bit. Lets just make it some bulletpoints because i want you all that you watch this.
I lied this got out of hand have bulletpoints with all my brain came up with enjoy.
STILL PLEASE WATCH IT.
pai starts his first day of school after 5 years in england. It's his last year in HS. (and trust me you saw me how angy i was with simm and lemme tell you NO ENGLISH WORDS pass pai lips once NOT ONCE) his parents are so busy they won't even eat breakfast with him :(
he gets to school gets hit by a soccer ball, this is were he first meets Itt and after that pai gets announced head of the bishop club (the smartie pants club) because he smort, but he declines at first.
after school and pai and waan are about to get driven home by pais driver. He just looks at waan and runs away. (To this day i have no clue why he does it) He almost gets robbed by thugs in a back alley BUT Itt is here to save the day. Sadly pais glasses break from the run in with said thugs. But no worries itt fixes them with a tape.
back at school pai ask waan if he could find the owner of said tape. But waan will only help him if pai takes on the role of head of the bishop club. So pai accepts this deal.
But as soon as pai said yes, the teacher approaches pai to tell him that the knight club (the sport nerd) lost their building and now are going to get the bishops clubs room, because they got more accomplishments. And his is going to get disbanded.
pai goes to the principal and guess who he meets there? The head of the knights club and it's itt. After talking to the principal and promising him that he will use his connections with his dad to get some activities going. The principal decides that they have to share the room.
after this pai talks to itt infront of the principal office and thanks him for helping him and if he remembers him. itt just tells pai that he doesn't remember people who lik to pull strings.
enter the we are "enemys" now phase, with Itt and his knight club members trying to annoy the bishop club members to leave.
pure takes one of his hook ups into the room and spills some juice and trys to mop it up with some very important papers, waan sees that and they get into a little fight, a projector gets damaged.
waan sees his time as his chance to get the knights out of their room. But he overhears pure and his mother talking and it's not the nice (at this point just throw away the whole mum) in the end he takes the blame for damageing the projector.
because of this situation the teacher tells pai that he has to agree to her proposition that he has to tutor itt or she will disband the bishop club (don't look at me i still have no clue how this makes any sense)
pai agrees and now the whole study buddies era happens. Naturally not without Itt ditching the first lesson, but he had a reason. His mom is in the hospital with sickness (it could be cancer?) and he was visiting her. Pai goes to see his parents that are working at the same hospital itts mum is a patient in. And pai sees itt with his mom and also overhears and sees the argument he has with his father (WHO BRINGS HIS MISTRESS WITH HIM TO HIS DYING WIFE INTO THE TRASH WITH HIM)
because pai sucks at hiding itts sees that he overheard this confronts pai. They make a deal that pai won't say anything about this if itt lets him tutor him. NOW we are entering the study buddies to friends era.
Itts mum finds them studying together and happily demands that they should do these lessons in her patient room. She is really happy and jokes around with pai about her son (first supporter of IttPai)
Tumblr media
everything is going great and pai and Itt becoming friends and mayhabs feelings blossoming, they even go eat wonton noodle soup, when pais parents ditch him because of work. And thats where pai gets the gown earring and his ears pierced. When pai gets home is parents are very suprised and shocked about this. (to this day i am confused because of pais parents, their reactions to things are so CONFUSING)
pai proudly wears the earing to their next tutoring session, but itt also invited his girlfriend peng along. Pais new found confidence goes back into the shell.
everything is going to shit at this point (we are only in episode 4 so buckle up) Pai is very cold to itt and even declines the offer to go eat together.
SOMEHOW pai does go to the wonton noodle shop (don't ask me why he decided to go like i just write here what i see for you guys) and sees itt eating there with peng. Pai walks away sad and gets hit by a car.
while this is happening itts mom also not doing so good. She passes away when pai gets hit by the car.
Tumblr media
at the same time waan and pure also kind of bond and become friends. After waan sees two people fight over who gets to be with pure. Waan asked pure for help, the both of them go to an cafe and pure tries to teaches waan on how to flirt which back fires and they go out drinking.
on their way back from the cafe waan asked pure why he is the way he is with his relationships. And he drops the my first love was an ass he let me get beaten up by guys so now i don't feel love anymore. (trust me at this point you will go 👀🏳‍🌈 at them)
at the club our little player gets in a fight with someone accusing him on giving their girlfriend HIV.
waan goes looking for pure after he didn't show up for school a few days. He talks to pure and on how important it is to use protection even to it is from your shitty as moms leftovers (this whole scene is very bf coded but alas), waan drags him to the hospital to get a check up.
Where we get this iconic scene
back to pai and itt we are now in another we are no friends anymore era where itt is angry at pai for "not being there when his mom died" even tho he himself was also in the same hospital. Out of fear to lose his home (because shitty dad), itt even tries to drop out of highschool (rock bottom time the is a bowtie involved). Yes i say tries, because not on pais watch is that gonna happen. Pai tries to convince itt that he will earn more money as an engineer then whatever job is is doing right now. (we have a little pai almost getting hit by another car moment but they stare at eachother way to long 10/10) Pai playfully calls itt and idiot if does not show up to their tutoring session the next day.
He even tries to persuade peng to get back together with itt so he has more motivation to go back. But it backfires itt saw how peng was trying to kiss pai. (Just as we thought the drama is over right?)
Tumblr media
the boys are "fighting" again but thanks to waan and pure the conflict is set aside very quickly. The four boys are now all friends and have a few nice days/weeks
pai and itt get accidentally locked in school and have to spent a night there where pai loses his earring.
in the morning the teacher calls pai to her office to tell him that he done his part, and that the bishop club now have their room back. Itt finds the earring and was about to enter the teachers room and overhears these two talking. (the real enemy era starting now)
the next day itt confronts pai that he has pais earring and he tells pai that he overheared the conversation with the teacher and pai just yield and begs itt to give him back his earring. Itt will only give it back if pai gives his club the room back. But because pai can't do this he promises to do anythingelse to get the earring back. But itt is not having it and keeps the earring.
folk enters the story at this point he first get scolded by angry heartbroken pai that he should read the room numbers correctly and take school seriously.
folk ruins a hook-up for pure because he tries to give back a pencilcase to the wrong girl.
pai gives notes to pure for itt..but because itt KNOWS pais handwriting he get so angry and goes to pais house to throw these notes at him and yell at him.
all of the boys get into their unis
TIMESKIP WE ARE IN UNI NOW
pai now has no glasses anymore (we get the first sotus call back with them trying to tell the meaning of the letter but JINKS they don't do this anymore..PUuuuh) and we meet beau for the first time and waan totally falls for beau.
this is also when mr.950 comes into play, it's a mystery person that gifts pai little gifts over the next 4 episodes.
pai gets a bit dizzy and almost faints after painting 2 lines of paint but he gets saved by the mystery man mr.950
pai also meets folk again, who straight out flirts with pai. He gets rudly interrupted by pure, who jokingly accuses him of being a player and sleeping around. (lets just say he uses it as a revenge for when folk wanted to give back that damn penicle case to the wrong girl pure was trying to flirt with)
this iconic scene happens after
at the dance thing the freshy have to do, pai has to do a little dance, because itt called out his name and said that he wants to.
folk joins him with the dancing because our dear pai is just to stiff and awkward
pai confronts itt after that event and begs itt to leave him alone.
beau ask pai to become their facultys king for the beauty contest but as always pai declines. (and ofc itt is in earshot and hears it)
we get this little scene where Itt uses the earring to get pai to join the beauty contest.
Tumblr media
this amazing purefolk scene happens (it's their Ohhhhhh moment because after that its on....but folk still has his crush on pai)
a photoshoot for the freshy king things happens and pai really isn't feeling all to good on how stiffly and uncomfortable he looks in his pictures. Itt teases pai on how if he keeps doing so poorly on keeping his promise he should say bye bye to the earring, which REALLY riles up pai and he promises that he still has some tricks up his sleeves.(at this point you can feel that itt does these things from a place of love because booooy)
folk casually follows pai to his dormroom (don't worry he also lives there but still i was ehk?) and asked him for an chance to hit on him. Pai answer is "... to have it his way but he stands by as his friend first" (don't look at me i am also confused) Folk uses an even lamer pick up line this time.
folk gets to his room and he meets his neighbour! Guess who it is! ..imma tell you it's pure
waan tells pai that he likes beau but that he knows that she is out of his league (oh broother..noo) and that he is gonna join the freshy competition as a volunteer so he can be around beau. Because thats all he needs to be happy
ITS FRESHY COMPETITION CAMP TIME BEECHES time to get some progress on these couples!
Everytime pai has to do an activity, there is always itt trying to make him feel at ease or do things that help pai feel at ease (asking a stupid med question when pai feels uncomfy when he has to introduce, hurting himself so pai can show how to treat a wound, holds his hand when they have to walk blindfolded) They have a little moment in the tent, like they had back in hs when they where locked up.
waan gets closer to beau and helps her out in camp as good as he can. You could say they kind of flirt with eachother. But this spark of hope is soon put out by pure asking waan at the white band ceremony if could help him flirt with beau. Our boy waan is so defeated that when beau "ask if he wants to hit on her" he is like no..but a friend of mine does. Which in return leaves beau sad and a little heartbroken because she thought waan liked her.
talking about pure, his whole stick this camp is to keep folk away from pai. Or to sabotage them from having any interactions. Pure only urges folk on to man up and to confess his feelings after folk saw that itt and pai was holding hands. He gets rejected by pai
pure and folk drive back together to drink have a little talk and one leads to another and to bring back the fish from earlier
Tumblr media
they decide to become friends with benefits (i am at this point that i believe that no one knows what a friend with benefits is because what these two are doing? Is kinguea league of doing it)
back at school pai talks to folk, if he is mad at him because pai heard that folk wasn't feeling so good. Folk ask for some time from pai so he can get over him.
after the meeting for the freshy competition folk just wants to go back and write his novel, but there is pure with other ideas. But folk brushes those ideas off and leaves without pure.
we see yachts character again nickey...we will meet him again and all i can say is with a gif
Tumblr media
nickey wants pure to go to a party with him but pure declines with probably the biggest 🥺 while looking after folk.
pure and folk some cute moments while folk tries to write, when pure comes home from a bar, in school, (trust me guys you need to watch it)
folk reads some msg between waan and pure (thats what happens if you save your FWB faceID on your phone and say stuff like i won't keep secrets from you and you act sus buddy) where waan ask pure why he is messing around with folk if he wants to hit on beau and pure the idiot that he is answers that waan should fawn over her and that he going to enjoy folk until he gets tired of him. (put the pitchforks down this will get resolved...somehow)
we are at a basketball match now and pai is standing on the sidelines lost in thoughts. They begin to throw a ball at eachother angrier eachtime.
waan gets hit by a ball that itt throws at pai and hurts his wrist
let me remind you now at the trigger warning from the beginning the one with the door? well thats gonna happen now. I'm no going into detail
back to Itt and pai, Itt comes by to apologize to waan in the hospital but pais not having it and tells itt that from now on that this hatred is no longer one-sided.
all in all the boys are doing great
Tumblr media
we finally get an inside look on why itt did the things he did to pai
pure comes clean about his intentions for beau, that he never liked her and that he only saied it to give waan a push. (they get together i mean beau and waan heheheheheh)
a sad heartbroken pure is at a club and gets a little "..Sowwy for you know doing almost a bad thing with you friend :< here have this" gift from nickey. (It's a hook up and oh boy will pure regretti spagetti this but he will punch nickey and make him apologize to folk so theres that but still puuuure whhhhy)
folk and pure talk with eachother and they decide to no longer to be FWB and that they are now going out. Pure has to promise folk that he is going to be his only one.
pai comes by to bring folk some congee and tells folk that he no longer has to refer to himself as mr. 950 BUT SUPRIIIIIIIIIIISE folk never was it. Pure gives pai the tip that it is the number of their old club room in highschool.
pai goes to visit waan in the hospital and waan no longer can keep the secrets he had and tells him everything.
ITS COMPETITION TIIIIIIIME time for our queen to serenade us! (i only just realizing what lyrics she is singing oasdjhjdksad)
Tumblr media
everyone is getting ready for the show, the boys show off their little talents. And then there is itt who just goes up to the microphone and gives up. (yet still he wins the popularity vote i am amazed 10/10)
pai sings the song itt played for them when they all where in highschool.
PAI WINS THE HECKING CONTEST
after the competition he meets up with itt infront of the photography club. Itt gives him his earring back and pai asks what the room behind him looks like inside (he doesn't even wait for an okay he just walks in)
BIG DARK BLUE KISS ENERGY *intro plays in the background* with all the photos all over the room (okay they are mostly just pai but okay itt is on this hecking crush for a bit) as they watch a slideshow of pictures of pai they tell how much they love eachother
Itt finally reveals that he is mr.950 and shows pai his own earring he got himself as a memento of pai.
their shipname is brick/white now
they exchance their earrings and FINALLY kiss. But they get rudly interrupted by pais parents and his mother almost fainting.
Tumblr media
pais parents are not really okay with their son kissing a boy in puplic and him talking back at them. Pai is so devastated by his parents reaction that he breaks up with itt
pais parents make him change schools back to england? When pai gets to school to pick up the papers he meets itt that does the same. Itt tells him "he only went here because of him" and gives pai back his earring
At lunch with his parents at home pai cracks and just cries and his parents finally see maybe we did something wrong? They even talk to an psychologists.
When it's time to fly back to england?? Pai stops his parents to say to them that he does not want to go. His mother asks him if he is really sure? AND when he says yes with confidence. His father calls out Itts name and itt comes out of his hiding place (imagine pai NOT doing this..the awkwardness oooof)
the parents and itt had a talk and now pai gets to stay and be happy and together with itt (hecking finally and like going to england won't make your son less anxious and gay. Thank the lord they figured that out. Itt is gonna be favorite son-in-law in no time)
pure and folk are back at the hospital, because nickeys little gift well...wasn't as clean as hoped BUT pure is now! So HAPPY ENDING FOR THESE TWO ASWELL
The friendgroup go on a camping trip and all three couples are as disgustingly cute as they can be.
Tumblr media
WE MADE IT TO THE END OF THE POST I DID IT
I hope i made you want to watch this show now, or if i already took away everything and you are now nah thanks i am good. And i hope you got the infomation you needed out of this long ass post.
i think i need to rest for a day now

Top five soups
oughghghgh altering my dinner plans now that i'm thinking about soup. you have done me a kindness this day.
you know when people ask something like "if you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be"? yeah the answer's always pho, the broth alone is soul-healing. and also literally healing in general, i always have it when i'm sick and it immediately clears out my sinuses and makes me feel so much better.
wonton soup. that feeling when you think you've eaten the last wonton and then you miraculously find another at the bottom of the bowl? songs should be written about that.
love that you can dump pretty much whatever the fuck is in season/in your fridge into a pot and it still counts as minestrone. also always love a good tomato broth.
which brings me to actual tomato soup, but only if i have grilled cheese to dunk in it.
potato cheese soup...with little bits of bacon...and like a really rustic bread crust to dip in it...my god......................

Hi, are you feeling better today? What are your favorite blogs? What are your favorite songs? What are your favorite meals?
im okayish, i think it's just that this week has been comparatively MORE stagnant and unproductive than usual. but it'll be better hopefully later on.
but i also tried writing a stupid dating guide. and surprisingly an eulogy. i also tried making a crossword which i am actually going to try finishing because some of my tumblr friends might be interested. i finished a book and then another poetry book. and now im reading hamlet. i am also thinking of making some soundcloud mixes with some of my favourite soul music. and im going to watch ufc 299 tomorrow.
honestly all the people i follow on here are my favorite. i follow like 103 accounts out of which 80 of them are mutuals and honestly they bring in stuff to watch and admire for days. but right off the bat if i had to name any blogs from the remainder of those accounts: @docpile @destroysoil @archivings
i listen to a lot of songs. for the longest time serpentskirt [asian CD release featuring faye wong] by cocteau twins used to be my 'favorite' song. until i came across bo hardwood and john cassavetes' almost in love with you and rn that song is my favorite one. last night i fell asleep while listening to this one song i came across which i think is beautiful: the dark end of the street by james carr.
i do not exactly have one favorite meal but i have had this one very uncivilized combination of chinese steamed wontons and bok choy with sesame oil and chili oil and a can of coke and a cigarette on various occasions, with past lovers and close friends and alone during pondering times. it was also like an icebreaker at dates when dating was more prevalent for me. they aren't very special taste wise compared to a lot of other things but they hold some certain emotional value if one can say that.
i hope you are doing fine and everything is alright. thank you for checking up and for the ask of course i enjoy answering these.

bad buddy fandom getting-to-know-you meme!
yayyyy thank you for the tag deepa, who is the best! @fiercynn <3 I've been meaning to participate in this for agessssss
since there are both recent newcomers to bbs fandom and people like me who are new to bbs tumblr, i thought i'd create a getting-to-know-you meme for people to introduce themselves if they want! all questions are optional
note: i consider "fanworks" to pretty much everything people create related to a fandom, including but not limited to meta/analysis/discussion, gifs, fanvids/edits/fancams, filk, fanart, fanfic, fan food, fan crafts, etc. please include this note with the meme unless you have a different definition!
name and whatever you want to share about yourself
hey, I'm rain! that's not my actual name but it's all the internet is getting. my pronouns are she/they. I'm in my 20s and a grad student, and fandom has been a (selectively) great place for me in terms of finding supportive, brilliant friends. I like to write a fair bit; occasionally, I post it too. I also like cats, big cities, good tea, and old houses.
when did you watch bad buddy/join the fandom?
I'd heard about bad buddy because it was airing around the same time as another show I was watching, but I wasn't toooo interested until episode 5, part 4/i4. when I tell you that kiss UNLOCKED SOMETHING IN ME... I caught up on the first 5 episodes pretty much immediately after that while quarantining alone over Christmas, and it pretty much kept me sane. I watched the rest of the show as it aired- please spare a moment of silence for the people who had to wait out the two-week gap between episodes over New Year's.
bad buddy has always made me SO genuinely happy and hopeful, reminding me that there is hope for queer Asian people even if our families aren't always supportive.
favorite ship(s)
patpran, inkpa, and some comic relief waikorn
favorite character(s)
in terms of fanworks, it's a very close call between pran and pat, but I think pran is my favorite by a hair! I love his character arc throughout the show! I especially love his confidence and the way he grew into himself. pran might win in terms of being inspirational, but I have to say, I LOVE well-written pat meta.
in terms of who I'd like to channel in real life, it's obviously ink. she is the absolute coolest, a proud simp, and a protective girlfriend.
(I'm great at avoiding making choices)
favorite episode(s)
episode 5, because what could ever compare? I also love parts of episode 3 and 11 (I'm saying this as if I don't love the entire show).
favorite scene(s)
ep 5 rooftop kiss!!!! ep 3 bus stop and mini elevator scene; ep 4 pran's injury and the three wontons dinner; ep 6 beach scene where they're paired up in the game; and their trip to the market, ep 7 confession scene; ep 9's 'anyone taller than me is fine'!!!!! ep 11 bus scene, beach scene, and song montage; ep 12's entire bait and switch reveal, and pat pran's dinner out with friends.
see what I meant about avoiding making choices?
one thing you would change about the show if you could
seconding deepa, WHY DID INKPA NOT KISS??? also this isn't a change I would definitively make to the existing show, but I'd love a b-side where we see patpran's relationship in the years between their graduations and pran's return from Singapore.
what are your some of your favorite fanworks made by other people?
I can't believe this is a question I am legitimately choosing to answer:
Fic:
make my body say ah, ah, ah by Sabulum
heart in a cage by sunshinedobi
paradox by Everybodyknows
dynamic by riddles2
a nose boop and the rest is history by seekingmoonscapes
don't forget me when I let the water take me by gilly_bean
your love is your life by threewontons
Videos:
same page by dkyth73
just friends by fiercynn and scribe
dancer by coldties
(if you create fanworks) what are your favorite fanworks that you’ve made?
technically I've only published one bad buddy fanwork (it's a fic called these violent delights). my favorite thing I've created for the show is an unpublished canon-divergence fic where patpran have sex and possibly get together during their ep 6 beach trip
a song that makes you think of bbs (the ones in the show don’t count lol)
I'm sticking to the classics; same page and just being friendly by tilly birds are my top choices. I also made playlists for pat and pran, for said unpublished fic, so here's some of the songs I picked for both:
for pat: the loneliest time by carly rae jepsen, double take by dhruv, better by khalid, the enemy by andrew belle
for pran: washing machine heart by mitski, 18 by 1D, and dancer by leon
idk anything else you want us to know?
I love all of you smart meta writers, I'm kissing your big beautiful brains
okay i'm literally going to tag all of my tumblr mutuals that i think are still in the fandom (if i missed anyone sorry!!), but also if you want to do the meme consider yourself tagged! please don’t let this flop lol 🤞🏽

Delicious Party Precure (Final Thoughts)
Tumblr media
(Bro, chill).
Now that I have gotten through another Precure season, allow me to share some opinions.
Prior to watching this, my first impression was honestly not too optimistic when it originally aired. Kirakira Precure a la Mode also had a food-related theme, albeit more on desserts than actual cuisine. Nonetheless, I had a quota and this was the most recent completed season available; it was bound to happen.
With 45 episodes, this is another short Precure season (alongside Healin' Good), although it works. The plot basically has our protagonists protecting Recipepes from being stolen by the Bundoru Gang. Exactly what are these "Recipepes"?
Tumblr media
(Great. I'm getting Healin' Good vibes again, but without the Furi.)
Answer: These adorable food fairies that are subjected to getting kidnapped in almost every episode. They actually belong to three different groups: rice, noodle, and bread. That's where our fairy mascots come in as the protectors of these groups.
Tumblr media
Kome-Kome is the main "marketing" mascot (and Cure Precious's partner) of this season (and ends up being the youngest of the three as the story progresses). Obviously, she doesn't talk much at first until later on when she gains power and eventually gains enough strength to lend a hand with the cures. Of course, this is a fox-like mascot, which I adore.
Tumblr media
(Fuck, they named one after my aunt. WTF Toei?)
Then, there's Pam Pam, Cure Spicy's partner. She's my least favorite (and not because she's a pompous ass). The writers did not try hard enough to convince me that she is better than the other two; which sucks because I'm a dog and bread lover. *sad face*
Tumblr media
(Crunchyroll, it is prounounced "men" not "mem").
Men-Men is the dragon-like mascot partner for Cure Yum-Yum. This one is quite interesting for saying "WONTON" every time Ran transforms. He's a good boi; in fact, my middle nephew is now in love with him and demands plushies. I quite like the dynamic between the two the most for having that savory connection.
Plus, Men-Men has a cool human form.
------------------------
Now, let's look at the cures:
Tumblr media
Yui Nagomi / Cure Precious
The main protag of the four, Yui sure does love eating. Her late grandma was the reason she became so passionate for food (there is a slight backstory explaining this in a later episode). Her family owns a restaurant that houses these...maneki-nekos (I'll come back to this later). She is quite a fighter, delivering a devastating punch (500 kcal, then 1000kcal, and eventually, 2000 kcal power). I did admire her demeanor, being a wonderful leader.
Tumblr media
Kokone Fuwa / Cure Spicy
Contrary to her partner, my feelings are the opposite for Kokone. There's something about her that immediately said "YES. THAT'S THE MISSING KICK IN THE MOUTH I'M LOOKING FOR IN A BLUE CURE". She's not Karen Minazuki levels of cool, but still freaking cool and Spicy had great defense that worked well in offense with the BREAD ROLLS.
Tumblr media
(Give me a moment to savor the mental warmth that is bread).
WHAT MORE CAN I SAY? Kokone brought some calming traits that I enjoyed and overall class.
Tumblr media
(How are you not related to Rin Hoshizora, FFS?!)
Ran Hanamichi / Cure Yum Yum
I've never in my life wanted a yellow cure that brought literal charisma and flaming passion (and I bet there's one before her that I forgot).
Ran oozes so much life, I don't even know if life can handle her. Her dynamic with Men-Men was one joyride down a noodle coaster and into some Lo mein paradise...or General Tso sauce.
All food pun aside, I've had my eye set on her even before watching; I swear she and Rin Hoshizora would make good "Ramen buddies".
Tumblr media
As for Yum Yum, noodles as cutters was a clever way to go. I also like the design, even if it feels a bit awkward at times; however, it works for the idea of a traditional Chinese background. Now that I think about it, I don't even know if it was confirmed if Ran was Chinese-Japanese to begin with. (Surely, someone mentioned this in an interview).
Tumblr media
(Student council president with diamonds on her head and yet Arisa Komiya was not considered...but I'll take another Ai.)
Amane Kasai / Cure Finale (formerly Gentlu)
OOOHHHHHHHHH. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT AMANE FOR A BIT.
During her villain arc, Gentlu had this aura of a frosted strawberry pop tart: once you warm it up, it tastes great. She was this sad frosted strawberry pop tart left sitting in a wrapper, waiting for someone to open it and put her in a toaster of love.
Once she became Cure Finale, I started having mixed questions about her drastic hair color change. She barely qualifies as a purple cure in design, despite the rest being multicolored. At this point, the rules in Precure are starting to unravel a bit with the color coding.
Unlike Precious, Spicy, and YumYum, Finale has a sweet motif; even Amane has "amai" or "ama" in her name, which means "sweet". It makes sense for someone who works in a sweets parlor.
Side note: her unofficial mascot partner is a parfait Recipepe that acts so ritzy-titzy it's hilarious; only Pam-Pam and Men-Men can understand it.
-------
As for the Bundoru Gang, I felt they were a decent bunch.
Narcistoru and Spiritoru were pretty strong; Secretoru in her civilian form was more entertaining and I wish the writers would have done more of that earlier in the show. Then, there's Godatz, who [spoiler alert prevents me from revealing a lot so this censor is all you're getting].
-----------
Moving on to some other opinions:
The OP is a literal earworm; it feels refreshing to hear a more cheerful, upbeat score.
The next to last episode had one of the most hilarious, absurd climaxes to a final boss fight I, in my opinion, ever witnessed.
The movie was surprisingly good for the most part, although Cait Sith was a hell of a movie villain with a somber backstory. When he went AWOL, I was just speechless.
Tumblr media
(The STAPLE of Oishina Town became the deus ex machina and I couldn't keep my composure.)
----------
In the end, yes, Delicious Party Precure, despite my doubts on a food motif, actually impressed me with how it was executed. It surely was more entertaining than Tropical Rouge, but not enticing enough to leave a mark as a favorite. It has some odd moments, but, this is a season involving food and also etiquette; what were you expecting? A five-star lore to come out of it???
Anyways, this is definitely one to check out if you're passionate for food. I would even consider this to be a good starting point if you've never seen Precure at all (alongside Smile, Fresh or Maho Tsukai).
-------
With that being said, thus ends my yearly Precure season quota, even though Otona Precure 23 just started. As for the rest of the year, it has already been decided on the schedule. The Wheel has now finally been put to rest and hope to God I do not use that thing again.
Next month, look forward to me revisiting another anime title I've covered in the past. Perhaps....the most...clusterfuck of crossovers...featuring a familiar white rabbit looking son of a--

A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the one and only @cheesyficwriter! I hope you enjoy this little tribute to Find Me Under the Waterfall (and that Ron’s food choices make you as hungry as your fics make us!)
Tumblr media
Making Plans
The words on the screen begin to blur as Ron scrolls aimlessly through what feels like thousands of menu options. His eyes skim over words like crudités, julienne, marmalade, reading without absorbing any of it.
He loves food—has made a career out of it, even—and somehow he can’t choose the most important meal of his life.
It makes sense for him to spearhead the catering efforts for their wedding, while Hermione puts her own expertise as a travel writer to good use planning their honeymoon. But the options are so vast, so varied, he’s having trouble choosing. The rioja braised short rib wonton sounds incredible, but he’s also intrigued by the lobster and Granny Smith apple appetizer—topped with avocado mousse and toasted fennel seed on cucumbers—and he knows Hermione would love the crispy brie drizzled in pear chutney. How is he ever supposed to decide when it all sounds so good?
It’s perfectly normal to hire four caterers for one wedding, right?
An ad blinks across the screen for a local bakery, and Ron shuts his laptop with a groan as he realizes he hasn’t even begun to think about the cake.
The front door opens and closes with a bang, and Hermione’s voice rings out through the tiny flat. Ron calls back a greeting, listening to the rustle of grocery sacks as she makes her way through the kitchen toward the spare room they both use as an office when they’re not traveling. Which, most of the time, they are. Fortunately, ever since Ron’s blog took off, they’ve been able to travel together most of the time.
“Hi, love.” Hermione breezes into the office, arms now empty, and settles into his lap with a kiss, lightening his mood immediately. “How was your day?”
“Oh, it was…fine.” Ron forces a smile; he doesn’t want to tell her how difficult a time he’s having with what should be the easiest task of the wedding planning, at least for him. But of course, she sees right through his facade.
Her delicate fingers thread into the hair curling around his ear as she frowns at him. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, really. Just having a hard time deciding on a caterer.”
Hermione huffs a laugh. “Tell me about it. I’ve looked at about fifty resorts, it seems, and not one of them is quite right for our honeymoon.”
He shouldn’t interfere—Hermione has her task, and he has his—but the answer seems so simple that he blurts it without thinking. “Why don’t we just go back to Costa Rica?”
“Costa Rica?” Hermione repeats, her brow furrowing. “Well, I haven’t even really looked there, but I suppose there must be other resorts…” She leans backwards in an attempt to reach for the colorful brochures that are scattered about her desk, but Ron tugs her attention back to him.
“I mean, let’s go back to Pura Vida. It’s where we met…seems appropriate, doesn’t it? Besides, we had our own rooms last time. I reckon we’re in need of a do-over and a thorough examination of the honeymoon suite.”
“You don’t want to go somewhere new, somewhere we’ve never been?”
“Not necessarily. Besides, if we go somewhere we’ve already been, there's less reason to leave the room.” Ron shoots Hermione an exaggerated wink, and her laughter fills the office.
“Okay,” she agrees. “Pura Vida. I’ll call them tomorrow.” She seals the statement with a kiss before turning to his laptop. “Now what are our options here?”
Ron sighs. “Endless.”
“Let’s see about that.” Hermione pulls the computer onto her lap, and Ron watches her click back and forth across the pages of menus he has open. After only a moment, she gives a definitive tap to the screen. “This one.”
Ron looks at the menu over her shoulder. It was definitely one of his contenders, but he had seen nothing to narrow down the field. Every item on the menu looks just as delectable as the next caterer, and the next.
“Why? How?”
Hermione shrugs. “This one has the most vegetarian options for Audrey.”
Ron shakes his head in disbelief. “You’re amazing, you are.”
“We make a good team,” Hermione volleys back, grinning as she leans in for another kiss that Ron returns eagerly. “We should try swapping tasks again. I’ll pick out the cake, and you decide on bridesmaids’ dresses?”
Ron laughs and kisses her again. “Let’s quit while we’re ahead.”

Sass! For the ask game please!
🤔❤️❤️🚔👌💀
🤔 Give me a random headcanon
Oh, you know me, I love giving headcanons. Okay, one that I haven't given (or maybe I have, I've written over 100+ headcanons, I don't remember what I said or didn't say) is that Chen Yuzhi tends to curse in either English or Japanese whenever he's really frustrated. It just slips out sometimes and it surprises Jiang Yuelou when he just hears Chen Yuzhi exclaim in a foreign tongue something that probably was very vulgar cuz it sounded angry and vulgar (it also forces Jiang Yuelou to at least try to know those languages so he can hear what Chen Yuzhi says because he wants to be in on the tea too)
❤️ What’s your favorite Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi moment? (good luck, there are many)
Jin, there are so many. So many fucking moments. Oh my god...hng...well, since I'm currently on ep. 19 rn of the rewrite, I'll go with my favorite ep. 19 moment where Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi are eating wontons and Jiang Yuelou asked if it's too late to be treated and Chen Yuzhi just responds in a fond but exasperated voice that it's too late and then they look at each other with such fucking heart eyes...like my god, put it away. Stop making me feel single
❤️ What’s your favorite Zhan Junbai and Yu Tangchun moment? (gotta show them some love too)
God, I will never be over the tailor shop scene where Zhan Junbai just fucking goes feral the moment he sees Yu Tangchun clutching at his stomach from the stab wound and just...eviscerates those tailors. Like boom, one neck snapped, the other neck slashed...all for one man
🚔 If it wasn’t a cop show, what jobs would everyone have?
I did answer this on another ask, so I'm just gonna copy and paste my answer from there to here: Jiang Yuelou I think would still probably be a cop, Chen Yuzhi would obviously still be a doctor, Chu Ran I could see being like an elementary school teacher, same for Yu Tangchun, except maybe he'd be like a music teacher. Zhan Junbai would still probably work for the government, Sun Yongren I could see being like a chef of some sort (considering how much of a foodie he is), Song Rong I could see being like a first responder of some sort, Zhong Yiren would be a fashion designer, and Bai Jinbo would still be police commissioner because somebody needs to keep an eye on Jiang Yuelou
👌 Top five moments
Jin, there are TOO MANY MOMENTS! I'm gonna do a mix of general and ship
When Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi first meet and Jiang Yuelou's grabs Chen Yuzhi's face and studies him? Like he is intrigued and just...hnngh
When Chen Yuzhi treats Jiang Yuelou's gunshot wound, even after Jiang Yuelou points a fucking gun at him? And the way that Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi look at each other afterwards...so much tension
When Chu Ran grabs Jiang Yuelou and calls off their marriage, causing Song Rong to nearly get fucking whiplash at how fast his neck snapped around at the word "marriage" and Jiang Yuelou to just...look so damn confused. It was so funny
Jiang Yuelou taking care of Chen Yuzhi in ep. 8. I don't even need to explain
Any scene with Zhan Junbai and Chu Min together. Sunshine boy and his rich dad. Love them
💀 Do you have any secret ships? (Including friendships)
I mean...we all know my normal ships: Yuezhi, Junchun. But I also like SunSong (Sun Yongren/Song Rong), ZhongChu (Zhong Yiren/Chu Ran), ChuLiu (Chu Min/Liu Li). A secret friendship I think would be Jiang Yuelou & Wang Meng. I genuinely fucking think that they might have gotten along if Wang Meng hadn't gotten shot and died. It would take them a while to warm up to each other, but they'd play nice for Chen Yuzhi. And they might always just remain frenemies, but god help the fucker who decided to mess with Chen Yuzhi because you'll have one of Jinma Hall's best men and Jing City's most feral fucking cop descend on your ass and send you straight to the King of Hell. Like...RIP my dude. I also love my Chaotic Police Siblings (Jiang Yuelou & Jin Dacheng). I love the friendship that came out of that hot mess

Dark Angel Interview: Emery
Tumblr media
For my Dark Angel of the Bullet Club series.
I had previously asked for 'interview' questions for Emery, and I eventually got around to answering them. I'll do the same for Phoenix when I get a moment.
Tag List: @katries @summertimefun1982 @blxxckheart (If you want added to the tag list, let me know)
Food / Drinks She loves a wide variety of foods, only thanks to exploring so much with Kenny and the Bucks during her travels. Stir-fry is amazing, wontons, and some sushi. Just depends on her mood. Italian foods are probably her favorite overall- pasta, pizza and gelato. Seafood is amazing—but only crab, shrimp, and lobster. Emery doesn’t like much of anything else (Squid? Ew. Clams? Double ew.) Spanish cuisine is also really good; authentic is even better. She don’t really like super spicy foods though, it upsets her stomach; and she absolutely refuse to eat mushrooms or anything slimy.
Drink wise, mostly water or flavored water. Occasionally, she’ll drink sweet tea and some juices. Hot cocoa and coffee are amazing; Emery will never turn down stopping at Starbucks. Alcohol, she don’t really drink too much. She don’t like beers or wines—there’ve been a few fruity drinks she’s found that she likes, but only ever drinks 1-2 of them, and even then, there are months, sometimes almost a year in between drinking. She just doesn’t have the urge to drink a lot of alcohol.
Animals Emery absolutely loves dogs and cats! They’re her all-time favorites. There’s a lot of animals she likes; horses, dolphins, monkeys, turtles, birds—the list could go on.
The list of what Emery don’t like is much shorter and simpler. She could live without spiders, especially the larger ones. Mosquitos are highly annoying. Emery also suffers from ophidiophobia – irrational fear of snakes. She’s not been a fan of them for as long as she can remember. Bad experience as a kid.
Favorite Games This is a broad category, so let’s break it into chunks.
Video Games: Elder Scrolls are a big favorite of hers- mostly Skyrim and Elder Scrolls Online. Raft. Sims franchise. Resident Evil franchise. Mortal Kombat is always a favorite of hers. Racing games, wrestling games—she’ll try just about any of them.
Board/Card Games: Poker, Apples to Apples/Cards Against Humanity, Monopoly, Clue – you name it, she will play it! Emery LOVES game night.
Places to Live/Visit She’s only ever lived in a few places. Emery was born in Colorado and lived there up until she was 18. After, lived in California for a while before making the long move to Japan. Now, she currently has an apartment in Florida.
Japan was definitely a top-list place, both living and visiting. The country is just so beautiful and the language is mesmerizing. Emery could listen to Kenny speak Japanese for hours and never tire of it. Italy is another place she has been lucky to visit; stayed there for almost four days due to a layover issue. Absolutely remarkable country, super nice people.
She’s wanted to go to England since she was a little girl—and has had a few opportunities to go, but unfortunately, something always comes up and Emery can never go. Maybe one day…
Favorite Music/Movies/TV Shows/Books Another broad topic that we’ll separate.
Music: Very open to different music- classical, pop, rock, etc. The only kind she doesn’t really listen to is screamo and most rap
Movies and TV: Supernatural is her go to; Doctor Who, Sherlock, Avengers, Once Upon a Time, CSI’s, NCIS’s, Criminal Minds, Forensic Files. She loves crime shows, magical/fantasy, and cooking shows. Also American Ninja Warrior. And don’t even get her started on anime.
Books: Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter. Anything from James Patterson. And a bucket load of manga.
What does she look for in a guy Great body and a nice d---
Nah, just joking.
Emery is a sucker for blue or green eyes, and ‘long’ hair (something she can run her fingers through). Someone who’s funny/has humor, has a sensitive side, makes her feel safe and loved.
Common interests are always nice, but not exactly necessary. He does have to like animals though. That’s a deal breaker there—and she don’t mean snakes. If that’s the only animal he likes/wants/has then it aint gonna work.
Doesn’t have to be taller than her, but Emery does like being picked up and carried around. Piggyback rides are the best thing ever. She’s naturally cuddly and sometimes clingy, so he’s gotta be able to put up with that.
Don’t even get her started on accents or being multilingual.
Another key thing is, he’s gotta be able to help her through the dark times. When the voices and memories start getting to be too much and she start falling down the ‘rabbit hole’. His being able to help her through it, or stop it from getting bad, is definitely something she looks for.
Does she want a family? A family would be nice, but she’s not completely sold on the idea of childbirth. She saw her mother go through some complications with Emery’s little brother and the possibility she could go through the same thing (or worse) scares her. The idea of having a little body running around with her DNA and the DNA of who she loves though, is very tempting. Perhaps one day, with the right person.
What does she like to do on dates and for fun? It depends on the day and how she’s feeling. Sometimes a simple movie at home with popcorn, snuggled under a blanket together is more than enough for her. Or, another home date would be just playing games together, either video or board games. If it’s venturing outside of the home, then she’s all for going to museums, arcades, swimming (only at pools though- she hates swimming in lakes/rivers because the possibility of a snake slithering around her that she can’t see). Mini golf, walking through a park, window shopping, the zoo, or even going to an animal shelter and volunteering for a few hours.

hi! i hope you're having a good day!! i have an ask from the ask game u rbed :))
🍊 What is your OC’s favourite meal? Snack? Dessert? Drink? Any reasons behind this besides liking how it tastes?
For Enca and/or Edith?
(ps i love the little lore bits u post sometimes! im not very good at keeping up with lore and getting into it but i just adore the vibes :] )
Hello! Hope you're having a good day as well. Thank you for your ask, I'm glad you enjoy the lore vibes ☺️ I also noticed there was a second part to 🍊, so I've gone ahead and answered those questions as well.
🍊 What is your OC’s favourite meal? Snack? Dessert? Drink? Any reasons behind this besides liking how it tastes? What is your OC’s most hated food? Stuff they can’t stand to eat or drink?
Enca's favorite meal is wonton mein! The texture and flavor of noodles used for this dish is one of their favorites, and they always like a good noodle soup. It was one of their favorite dishes to order from a restaurant that Edith occasionally took them to as a child. The more they hang out with Inga, though, the more they get a taste for elaborate, multi-course meals.
For favorite dessert and drink: black sesame soup, chrysanthemum tea mildly sweetened with rock sugar. These also remind them of things they could get at restaurants that Edith would take them to as a littl'un. I'm not sure if they have a favorite snack, but they do like snacking on fruits.
Most hated food is eggplant. They don't like eating mushy things, and they don't like drinking soy milk.
......................................................................
Edith doesn't (didn't?) really have a favorite meal. As an Amberglow resident, they were mostly eating the essence and/or flesh of demonic abominations, so. They're fascinated by any and all human foods. They do have a favorite snack and dessert from the mortal world, though, which are both lou po beng (I don't. Know what the "proper" phonetic spelling for this is.). They absolutely love the texture and flakiness of the pastry against the texture of the filling, and it's something their husband would often get for them as a little treat. They don't have a favorite drink in particular, but they do like things that are carbonated.
They don't have any particularly hated foods or drinks either, but they can't eat things that are overly sour, they Will cry.

13, 17, & 25 🦕 (dino just cause)
Thank you for the ask! 💕 (and here's an otter in exchange for the dino 🦦)
From this fanfic writer ask game
13. What are some of your writing and reading pet peeves?
I mostly am not fond of characters reduced to being a 'mary-sue'. :P What makes a char interesting to me is their flaws, so 'angel'-ifying them or making them 'perfect' is, though understandable, just something that annoys me. Also antagonising a char is like, not my thing either. Unless they have a clear motive, instead of just being a bad guy for no clear reason.
I also sometimes get a bit ruffled when finding grammatical errors (they're/their/there, wonton/wanton, your/you're, effect/affect, its/it's, wrong use of tenses, typos, punctuation mistakes, and that type of stuff), but it's never irked me that much bcs I totally understand as I make mistakes in writing, too. XD It just sometimes disturbs me and kinda yeets me off the story.
One of my writing pet peeves is having the urge to make the first draft as perfect as possible. Like, trying to perfect your work before the editing stage even begins. It makes me distracted as I have to constantly go up and down to revise little details like pacing, spelling, punctuation, etc. instead of finishing the fic first. Drives me insane. But I've learnt to handle that now, luckily!
17. What are your top 3 favorite tropes of all time?
Found family, h/c, and the nightmare trope. Ya know how it is. ;)
25. Got any ideas/spoilers for future WIPs you’re willing to share?
(I answered the same question here)
I know what you're aiming at, Harps. XD But oh well. Ask and ye shall receive. Here's another snippet from a WIP involving a certain dino and a certain croissant:
"I'm craving a croissant." 
"Hm?" Tony turned his head from the Starkpad on his lap to pay attention to the sorcerer, who was currently looking up at him from a book he held in his hands. 
"I'm craving a croissant," Stephen repeated, "Specifically the ones we bought from our trip to France last time." 
"Oh, yeah," Tony remembered. The croissants they bought in France were a bit different than a normal croissant, they both could tell. It was buttery but not too buttery, and they taste best when still hot and fresh out of the oven. They were flaky and the layers were tender, but It was definitely the butter that stood out the most – the flavour of it was simply worth a chef's kiss.
"I can buy them and get them sent here if you'd like?" 
"...Directly from France?" 
Tony shrugged. "Billionaire, remember? I can make anything work." he smiled, "If my dear wizard wants croissants, he gets them." 
Stephen chuckled. 
"It's best if we eat them immediately after they're baked, though. You know it tastes better that way." 
Tony hummed. Should he plan a trip to France because his wizard wanted croissants? Yes, yes he should. 
"I'll get the jet ready." Stephen tensed a bit.
"Right now?" 
"Yeah. You can pack your things up now," Tony stated, too casually, "How many days do you want to stay there?" 
Stephen stared at him. "You know I could just open a portal, right?" 
Tony made an 'ah' sound at the revelation. That sounded simpler. Thank god for magic. 
(I should probs get this one done sooner or later haha XD XD)

18. Which of your ocs would survive if you put all of them into a hunger games situation?
But the question is between all wips. Which would become superior? No magic is allowed
Oh, interesting one...and I am perplexed.
I want to answer Parnamyr, because he's humongous, made of mostly metal and would delight in the very premise but he's disqualified on account of he'd fall down inert if he left his Dreadmire. If in-world restrictions are removed though, he's winning, and he's doing so with fits of cavernous laughter.
If no magic is allowed, Faerai and Odea are at a distinct disadvantage, but they're scrappy and resourceful so I'm not sure how they'd do. Faerai also has Ozma with her, who could shield her from most things but I'm assuming neutral territory here so not her own world...which means he wouldn't be much help. Also neither of them would be comfortable killing the others and that might put a damper on their success. Faerai would get very close to killing if it's to save Delgrij or Mitra but I don't see her actually going through with it.
Delgrij is not a fighter, but his charm and vine control aren't magic so much as pheromones and a connection to plant-life, so he might be able to use them to trick and disable. Unless Faerai is in danger, then he's strangling and ripping apart anything that dares touch her. If he's starving and driven wyld, he'd probably win (even Parnamyr would have trouble with a tree-sized beastie made of bark and rage) but wouldn't be able to control himself and would be devastated to learn he'd killed everyone he cared about.
Delmas is sturdy, resilient, and though he's not a fan of wonton murder he is adept at hiding. If Odea's in danger, he'll act, but still in a defensive capacity. He couldn't bring himself to kill. He'd be fine though, I think, probably make it longer than most anyone else...until the clanking horror or glittery fae-looking thing found him.
I think Mitra would win by the simple fact that she's only about a foot tall, made of very thick crystal, can make herself burn hotter than anything anyone else has probably experienced, and can fly. She'd be a difficult target but, unless she's starving, she's not hurting anyone she knows. Delmas and Odea would be prime targets for maiming though, because she's never seen humans before and would want to poke them anyway. Parnamyr too, because it wouldn't be the first time she's reduced him to ashes and had to pick up the pieces, but her friends? Nope. She'd rather use herself as distraction to keep them alive. And again, I don't think she'd kill anyone on purpose (except Parnamyr, but he doesn't really die so I don't think it counts).
I may have too many monstrous, self-destructive carebears for questions like this. Could they kill everyone without breaking a sweat? Probably. Would they? Not even if their life depended on it, but maybe if their friend's life did.
